Jad Azkoul

Concert Guitarist & Teacher

Many influences have enriched my life and music throughout the years, but my teaching and playing are largely based on the in-depth study and assimilation of the discoveries of my mentor Abel Carlevaro. The guiding principle of this educator, virtuoso performer and composer was how to minimize physical effort and discomfort in order to maximize efficiency. By using the most appropriate part of the body (finger, hand, wrist, arm) for fluid and accurate playing, and knowing how to obtain the most tone from the guitar, Carlevaro designed an approach in which technique is always at the service of music.
